The word for grandmother in Hawaiian is "kΕ«puna wahine" or simply "kΕ«puna" for short.

Aloha mai from Maui! Most common affectionate term if tutu (derived from kuku-correct Hawai'ian pronunciation) for either grandparent is tutu wahine for grandmother, tutu Kane for grandfather, kupuna for any elder out of respect. Grandchild is mo'opuna. Lots of good on-line searches available. Mahalo for asking!
